説 明:
隱喻是一個強而有力的交流工具,
一個隱喻可能勝過千言萬語,節省大量的表達用詞。
隱喻能創造想像空間,讓人重新思考問題,
從而開闢全新解決方案的可能性。
身為職場領導者或工作者,善用隱喻可以激勵員工或同事採取行動及產生改變。
隱喻不僅使溝通有成效,還能讓人迅速認清現實,
脫離無效目標,重新開始或改變方向。
隱喻更可用於對話指導,激發想像力和啟發對話。
舉例來說:
**「The Emperor’s new clothes.****」(**國王的新衣:安徒生童話裡的國王一絲不掛遊街,是因為沒有人敢說出真相。)
──太多領導者總是偏聽他人的曲意奉承,看不清事情的真相。
**思考提示:**面對生活,需要足夠的勇氣與無私的坦然,才能發現真理。
「The elephant in the room.****」(房間裡的大象:房間裡明明有隻大象,人們卻當作沒看見。)
──有時候問題過於難解,但是它明明還在,人們就是得過且過或絕口不提。
思考提示:你不批評、不指責,單純就事論事,以開放的態度討論解決方案。
「Face the music .****」(勇於面對現實,接受不好的後果:這裡不是要你面對音樂,而是要你承擔做錯事的後果。)
──判斷錯誤,就要自己承擔後果。
**思考提示:**眼看著事態發展不如預期,你有多大的心胸願意負起責任?
「Put a tiger in your tank.」(油箱裡的猛虎能量:在你的油箱裡放一隻老虎?!這是知名汽油品牌ESSO的廣告文案,但老虎與汽油有什麼關係呢?正是這種隱喻,使人想去探究其深層的含義:這種汽油將為你的汽車帶來無限的動力,猶如一頭猛虎。)
──有時候你需要將精力集中在某個能讓你不遺餘力的目標。
**思考提示:**你的抗壓性高嗎?假如遇到必須迅速執行的活動,你會有什麼風險?
「Act the goat.****」(裝瘋賣傻/幹盡蠢事:這可不是扮一隻山羊,這是為了逃避責任的「裝傻」,也可解釋為逗人一笑的「耍笨」,有時候還可形容「瘋癲」。)
──有時候我們會做一些別人眼中的蠢事而不自知。
**思考提示:**你願不願意基於好理由讓自己顯得有點愚蠢?因為這樣能夠累積相當程度的好感。
寥寥數語的「隱喻」濃縮了集體經驗的智慧。
利用「隱喻」思考問題,有助於解放思路,開啟更多新的解決方案。
藉由「隱喻」,我們能夠切中問題核心、釐清事態、帶來洞見,或者指出癥結所在。
本書收錄200則多樣化的「隱喻」,有些很新穎,有些早已膾炙人口,
每一則都值得我們玩味;而且可供領導者在不同的環境下應用。
領導者在各式各樣的情況下思考如何表現出最佳引導和影響力,
本書可作為豐富的思考提示資源。
請讓想像力隨著每一則隱喻共舞,展開新洞見的種種可能,
人生將會處處充滿驚喜,而且讓人樂在其中。
